Attack in paradise, a california doctor killed off the coast of maui. And another tornado outbreak leaves parts of oklahoma in ruins. More than 300 tornadoes reported in the u. S. This month alone. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to early start, im christine romans. Good morning. Good morning to all of you, im dave briggs, monday, may 27th. It is memorial day. We pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in our country. 5 00 a. M. In the east, 6 00 p. M. In tokyo. That is where we begin this morning. The president standing alone on a state visit to japan. The president says he is not bothered by pyeongchangs missile test despite National Security adviser john bolton saying theres no doubt the test violates un resolutions. White house correspondent Boris Sanchez joins us live in tokyo. Good to see you. Reporter good morning dave and christine. We really got an idea just how much President Trump trusts kim jong un from this presser. The president saying that he was not bothered by those Short Range Ballistic Missile tests that north korea launched last month. Despite the outlook of his own advisers and the outlook of japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe kwhowho was standing a few away from the president saying the missile launches were of great regret. Quite a bit of distance between these two leaders on that issue. Listen to what President Trump said about these tests and his relationship with kim jong un. I am very happy with the way its going. And intelligent people agree with me. Youre not bothered at all by the small missiles. I am not. I am personally not. My people think it could have been a violation, as you know. I view it differently. I view it as a man, perhaps he wants to get attention. And perhaps not. Who knows. Keep in mind, trump is saying this just a few hours after having met with the families of wrap n japanese citizens who were abducted by north koreans. Japane japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe supports his efforts to have a bilateral meeting with kim jong un. Something that would be a Huge Development between the region. It seemed to draw a distinction between very smart people and john bolton, at least if i hear that correctly. This came up last week, the president tweeted that north korea fired off quote small weapons but the real leave here came when trump echoed kim jong un calling joe biden a low iq individual, spelling biden wrong in the process before correcting it. Is the president still throwing himself in with kim jong un on this one . Reporter yeah, dave, that was one of the most stunning moments of this press conference, the president siding with the north korean dictator, saying that he believes that kim jong un is correct in saying that joe biden is a low iq individual. Now, the president quickly pivoted to iran in that question saying that the Iran Nuclear Deal is a symbol of joe bidens mental incompetence, essentially. The president made news on iran, saying hes in no rush to replace the Iran Nuclear Deal which the United States pulled out of, making news that he does not believe a regime change has to happen for a peacefl future between the United States and iran. All right. No shortage of news, Boris Sanchez live in tokyo, thank you my friend. Appreciate it. In European Parliament elections, centrists are the big losers. The vote chwhich saw the highes participation in 25 years, boosted skeptics and proeuropean leftists. Phil black is live at londons 10 downing street. Whats the message from voters, phil. Reporter its mixed. These are the elections that many in the mainstream establishment were worried about and with good reason, they will now be more pop lists, nationalists, far right figures in the European Parliament but only incrementally so. Green groups, socially liberal groups they did well also. On one hand, the landscape is going to be very different. The Traditional Center left and right power blocks will not busy as powerful as they were. There is a clear majority of people in favor of the European Union within this parliament. Nationalists did do well, however. In france, italy, and here in the uk where the newly formed brexit party surged to first place. It attracted around a third of the vote. People angry that brexit still has not yet been delivered, but on the other hand, parties that openly oppose brexit, that wants another referendum to stop it, they also did well and attracted very similar numbers. The headline here in the uk and you wouldnt describe it as breaking news is that britain is still very deeply died over brexit. Christine. Divided. Thank you so much for that, phil black, for us at 10 downing street. Six people are dead in oklahoma after days of Severe Weather.
